TTQ B4U Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 can anyone point me towards a good free downloadable player for my laptop. It doesn't have software to watch a rental DVD and I have a plane trip I'd like it for. any recommendations appreciated. (links too!)

Rally Pat Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 Many programs can play DVD's, its the Decoder that you have to pay for. Unfortunately, I dont know of any free decoders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistedfocus1647545489 Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 A friend of mine uses this and seems to like it. I have never tried it, but it's free, so the price is right . http://www.tucows.com/preview/427178 If you don't care for that one - Cyberlink's PowerDVD is a decent program that comes in alot of bundles free, but it's not free to download from their site(here). I can send you a copy of it if you have time or you could try the 30 day trial for now. Also if you are set up woth any of the gnutella networks (Bearshare,Shareaza, etc.) you can probably find it there. It's not so great that I would buy it, but it works and would be a fairly quick download if you're on broadband. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
